Built around the community, not just in it.

Caring for the community

Co-op Social Responsibility

Co-op is dedicated to improving the lives of our community members. Whether through community support programs like food drives, donations through the Co-op Community Foundation or assisting charities and organizations around our city, we’ll continue to look out for our community and the people within it.

Protecting Our Planet

Sustainability

We offer thousands of local, organic and gluten-free products. We also provide a choice of free-range, free-run, organic, comfort coop, omega-3, vegetarian and conventional eggs.

Pure Meat

Fresh from the local farms and ranches all over Alberta, our meat isn’t just raised the right way, it’s prepared the right way too. Our Co-op Pure line of meats includes naturally raised Canadian bison, veal, duck, and pork with no added growth hormones.

Recycling

Last year, we diverted 87% of our total waste for recycling or composting. Thanks to these efforts, we saved the equivalent of 19,500 cubic yards of landfill space, 11,100 barrels of oil, 14,000 tonnes of C02 emissions, 98.7 million litres of water and 63,000 trees.

People Leadership

We know how important our employees are and that’s why it’s our goal to make Co-op a great place to work. We provide competitive compensation, extensive retail and management training, and career advancement opportunities for all of our employees. Last year, we contributed nearly $100,000 in employee scholarships.

We also continue to fund post-secondary bursaries for Mount Royal, SAIT and the University of Calgary.
